DANBURY - Eric Metaxas is the best-selling author who’s taken readers to the worlds of the Protestant reformer Martin Luther, the British abolitionist William Wilberforce and the anti-Nazi martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
As such, it may surprise fans to learn that Metaxas has chosen a comparatively pedestrian setting for his latest history book - 1970s Danbury, where the author as his own subject recounts the seminal events of his childhood in “the only home I ever really had.”
